WTF? Do they run their businesses like prisons? Geez, and I thought American Corporatism was bad.

Ummmm...yes, yes they do. And American Corporatism is the reason Foxconn exists. They make the vast majority of US electronic devices including most Apple products to name one of many.

There was an article not too long ago about Foxconn putting up large nets around their buildings to catch the workers (who live on the plant grounds in tiny apartments btw) who try to kill themselves by jumping.

It's all in the name of cheap luxury items for you and me.

It's more Chinese capitalism/communism why it exists (China is weird like that.) America is actually better than most places for how badly we let our companies treat people.

The nets idea is actually a good idea... they should commit suicide off of Foxconn property.
